Dial A Cup

How would you like to be able to pick up the phone and order a cup of tea any time you please? Well, if you want life to be this convenient, you're going to have to move to India, at least for now.

For it's there, in Ajmer, that a pair of brothers operate a tea stall with a twist. Since many of their customers are shop owners who'd prefer not to leave their stores untended while they go for a cup of tea, they simply dial the stall's number and hang up. Vijay and Sanjay use caller ID to find out who's placing the order and off it goes.
